New Year ~ New Project

Now that all of the Christmas decorations have been put away and the house is back to normal, it was time to start a new quilting project!  Do you feel the same way, too?  I have several "in the works", and chose to start with the one using The Cotton Club fabrics by Paula Barnes for Marcus Bros.


Aren't they just as yummy as can be?  Check back with me in a few days to see what I'm doing with them!!

  1. I think you would love Nancy Turner's trilogy, based on her great-grandmother's life. I learned so much from them, and each is written equally well. These Is My Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901; Sarah's Quilt: A Novel of Sarah Agnes Prine and the Arizona Territories, 1906; The Star Garden: A Novel of Sarah Agnes Prine. If you love historical fiction, these are not to be missed. I hope you read the first. I guarantee you'll be hooked!
